Historical Unsung Heroes

Celebrating 200 years of community builders

As part of McGill’s Bicentennial celebrations, 10 Historical Unsung Heroes are highlighted for their impact on the McGill community and beyond, diversity of origin and circumstance, and the depth of source materials often found in archival fonds or collections.

This exhibit was created through the Bicentennial Planning Office, the Bicentennial Employee Recognition Committee and the work of Archival Outreach practicum students in the School of Information Studies. A special thank you to committee members Gordon Burr and Sacha Young, and three Archival Outreach practicum students in the School of Information Studies: Gabrielle Machnik-Kekesi, Kiana Lemay and Julia Fekete.
